QPR v Huddersfield: Austin out again, Hill returns
QPR have made three changes and will play without a recognised striker against Huddersfield after Charlie Austin was again ruled out with a hamstring injury.
Clint Hill returns to the side, partnering Grant Hall at centre-back, after missing the last two months with a knee injury.
Sandro and Daniel Tozser come into midfield, with Ale Faurlin and Sebastian Polter dropping to the bench. Leroy Fer is expected to play up front, supported by Junior Hoilett and Matt Phillips.
Huddersfield have brought in six players as they look to rotate during the busy Christmas period.
Joe Murphy returns in goal, with Jed Steer’s loan from Aston Villa at an end, while Jason Davidson and Martin Cranie come into the back four at the expense of Ben Chilwell and Joel Lynch.
The three behind striker Nahki Wells have also changed from the 3-1 win over Preston, with Mustapha Carayol, Jamie Paterson and Harry Bunn in for Sean Scannell, Kyle Dempsey and Joe Lolley.
Subs: Smithies, Angella, Luongo, Faurlin, Chery, Emmanuel-Thomas, Polter.
